EEE

Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) is a rare but serious disease caused by a virus that spreads through the bite of an infected mosquito. Only a few human cases are reported in the United States each year. The disease also commonly affects horses, but it has been reported in other animals like alpacas, donkeys, pheasants, and emus. Please read this important information from the Vermont Department of Health about EEE.

There are no human vaccines to prevent or medicines to treat EEE. The best way to reduce your risk of infection with EEE virus is by preventing mosquito bites: limit time outdoors at dawn and dusk, use insect repellent, wear long-sleeved shirts and pants, treat clothing and gear with permethrin, and control mosquitoes indoors and outdoors. 

Please read this important flyer from the CDC: How to Protect Against Mosquito Bites. If you wish for your child to use insect repellent, please apply it at home in the morning before school.
